Who would you select if tasked with choosing “The 50
Fiercest Female Rockers”? Once I was through grumbling about that measly
number, I wouldn’t select a lot of the ones who make it into Meredith Ochs’s
new book Rock and Roll Woman: The 50
Fiercest Female Rockers. To the writer’s credit, she makes a strong case
for even the ones who made my eyes roll while perusing the table of contents. Ochs’s
colorful prose and infectious love for her subjects nearly brought me to the
precipice of reconsidering the artistry of Gwen Stefani or Sheryl Crow.
